Tropical storm in the North Indian fizzed. Solar winds jumped up to 500 km/sec from their lull, and when they are that fast it's hard on tropical storms. 5 day average of lightning has a huge amount of strikes over the EGOM. This brings a lot of theta ts from the GOM in general IMHO this time of year.
